Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk passes
Eric Hawerchuk: “After an incredibly brave and difficult battle with cancer, our dad has passed away. My family is so proud of him and the way he fought. #HawerchukStrong“
Sportsnet: Winnipeg Jets chairman Mark Chipman on Hawerchuk’s passing.
“I was fortunate to see Dale come into the league. I think we were all still very much in awe of the fact the Winnipeg Jets had joined the National Hockey League. I think it was Dale’s arrival that really cemented the future of the franchise and I think we all have recollections of that first year, that Calder (Trophy) year and then everything that would follow.
“He was truly a superstar as a hockey player, but I think why he was so loved here was not just that but largely the fact that he made this his home and became one of us. I think everybody shared that sense of pride in Dale’s career as a player.”
